Weekly Why: Riyad Mahrez, PFA Player of the Year Awards and Africa’s Plight | Bleacher Report

I was surprised as well seeing that Mahrez is the first African to win the award. He definitely can’t be the last though if, as the author mentions, the likes of Bertrand Traore, Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho live up to their early promise. Maybe some of the established players have a shot too, though it’s hard to pinpoint a surefire candidate.
